TALPA Evolution • History – Airplane landing and excursion on contaminated surface – NTSB set in motion various recommendations – Originated as a Aviation Rulemaking Committee Initiative – Implemented via voluntary efforts – Created tools, guidance documents, and capabilities to assess surface conditions – Tied assessed condition to airplane performance June 22-24, 2019 2

TALPA – Aircraft Operator US FAA Transport Standards Presented to: ICAO/ACI Symposium on GRF2019 By: U. S. Federal Aviation Administration Date:
Airplane Performance • FAA Goal – Data Basis – Same basis for all manufacturers and operators • One set of assumptions when manufacturers create data • One set of guidelines for operators – ICAO adopted same time-of-arrival landing performance basis • Manufacturer supplied performance data is based on the same assumptions (one minor exception) • Operator guidance the same June 22-24, 2019 6
Airplane Performance • Two important parts – Manufacturer data to support implementation of TALPA • Takeoff – non-issue, AC’s consistent to the greatest degree possible with EASA contaminated runway certification requirements (AC 25-31) • Landing – Time of Arrival performance data (AC 25-32) – Guidance for operators on implementation of performance data • Safety Alert For Operators – Operational guidance for TALPA operations - SAFO 19001 » Guidance also in FAA Order 8900 – Recommendations for ops in heavy rain - SAFO 15009 June 22-24, 2019 7
Best Practices Operational Data and Guidance • FAA TALPA is voluntary for operators therefore the operational information provided are – “best practices for conducting a landing distance assessment at time of arrival” – Timeliness • Typically top of descent • Determine how much field conditions can deteriorate and still land – Safety Margin • 15% recommended – Autobrake Usage • Guidance on when A/B data should be factored June 22-24, 2019 8
Best Practices Operational Data and Guidance – Source of Data • Manufacturer historical (adjusted if necessary) or based on AC 25-32 • If no data available – Generic factors maybe applied to unfactored AFM dry – Additional Guidance • Use of dispatch data • Touchdown point June 22-24, 2019 9
Operational Performance Implementation Issues • Manufacturer’s TALPA data/guidance not available – Default to factor’s and by nature conservative • Multiple contaminants reported – Primarily takeoff issue – Data provided by manufacturer for single contaminant on the runway – Different airplanes have different critical contaminant for performance – Consensus, operators handle the choosing of the critical contaminant for performance purposes June 22-24, 2019 10
Airport Operator TALPA Implementation Presented to: ICAO/ACI Symposium on GRF2019 By: Date:
Implementation Tools • Advisory Circular 150/5200-30D, Airport Field Condition Assessments and Winter Operations Safety • Advisory Circular 150/5200-28F, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for Airport Operators • Enhanced tool for producing RwyCCs and reporting Field Condition NOTAMs (FICON) – Modified system on how surface conditions will be reported based on the RCAM criteria – System reduces subjectivity and standardizes how the RwyCC is generated and published – System calculates and generates RwyCCs based on contaminant information input by the airport operator • System comprised of simple dropdown menu selections for the airport operator • Established a demo system for testing and familiarity – System business rules and methods are transferrable • Prepared to coordinate with implementation teams • FAA Order 7930.2, Notices To Airmen (NOTAMs), is governing document June 22-24, 2019 12
Awareness Campaign • Time is critical for a successful implementation – Developed information for operators and stakeholders to use/supplement existing training and guidance documents – Conducted outreach nationally via webinars, conferences, industry forums and informational bulletins for airport operators and other stakeholders – Recorded narrated presentations on process for utilizing the RCAM for field condition assessment and reporting – Sought industry participation to publish articles in trade publications on field condition assessment and reporting – Built websites to make information available to industry and stakeholders – Held FAA Industry Day ahead of implementation to seek feedback and address stakeholders concerns June 22-24, 2019 13
Best Practices Challenges • Enough time to meet implementation • Development of a website for information expectations and a bank of Frequently Asked Questions • Impact of change on airport operators • Capability to accept/answer stakeholders • Break with traditional way of assessing on-going questions throughout conditions implementation • Understanding use of existing friction • Usable template as a basic framework measuring tools after implementation that can be used to train stakeholders • Instituting new terminology • Information distribution capability to reach • Applying RwyCC upgrade/downgrade and receive feedback from numerous actions stakeholders simultaneously • Data gathering source for GRF analysis after implementation • Organic Website https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/talpa/ June 22-24, 2019 14
Air Traffic Controller TALPA Implementation Presented to: ICAO/ACI Symposium on GRF2019 By: Date:
ATC Guidance Documents • Order JO 7110.65 – Air Traffic Control – Added Runway Condition Codes (RwyCC) – “0” (worst) to “6” (best) – Replaced “Fair” reportable braking action report with ICAO “Medium” – Introduced new categories: “Good to Medium” and “Medium to Poor” • Order JO 7210.3 – Facility Operation and Administration • Order JO 7110.10 – Flight Services • Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) • Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP) ICAO • Pilot/Controller Glossary June 22-24, 2019 16
Air Traffic Controller Required Training • Develop Training and Training Guidance – Appropriate timelines and methods must be established – Training and updates must be consistent state-wide – Recommend establishing a training framework/template for standardization • Brief Procedural Changes to All Controllers – Terminal facilities – EnRoute facilities – Both state run and non-government facilities June 22-24, 2019 17
Emphasize Controller Procedures Not Affected • Controllers will still solicit braking action reports from pilots after/upon landing • Controllers will disseminate to Airport Operators, and pilots, pertinent changes to surface/landing conditions received via PIREPS/NOTAMS • Controllers will disseminate new information via ATIS broadcasts like Runway Condition Codes. • Controllers will NOT add the complete FICON NOTAMs to the ATIS broadcast June 22-24, 2019 18
Conclusion & Thank you! June 22-24, 2019 19
